For some weird reasons, I just can't stand the smell of fish, or anything to do with fish if I have to cook it. And I don't stop hearing the end of it from my husband, hence I finally put a pin on my nose and decided to try making this soup. (of course without any seafood, replaced it with chicken :) )

And to my surprise, fish sauce didn't taste or smell as bad as I thought it would. It was all in my head! Infact, it gave the soup such a gorgeous taste, that it definitely is one of THE main ingredients for this recipe. And trust me, it doesn't smell fishy at all!

On our flights to Bangkok, after long, insane crazy working hours, we used to go across the street from our hotel into this small road side restaurant, where I had tasted this soup for the first time. And it definitely became one of the key dishes to de-stress with :)Hope You enjoy it as much as we loved slurping it!Bon Appétit
